The photos were taken in Valletta (Marsamxett Harbour), where plenty of plastics were floating in the water at a ferry landing point, and on Għajn Tuffieħa beach, where surprisingly high amounts of microplastics could be seen both on the beach and floating in the water.

“The European Union will host the fourth high-level Our Ocean conference in Malta on 5 and 6 October 2017. In the spirit of the successful 2014, 2015 and 2016 editions, the conference aims to inspire and empower a new generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists and civil society to identify solutions and commit to actions for safe, secure, clean and sustainably managed oceans…”

from Margarita Cimadevila & Wolfgang Trettnak
will be on show at

The exhibition makes part of the current theme of EXPO 216, which is OCEAN PLASTICS!
A selection of art work (reproductions in original size on aluminium panels) will be shown in this very special place!

The photos show typical plastic debris, which can be found on the beach: plastic film, containers, cups, nets, a knife, ropes, lines, styrofoam and many fragments of unidentified origin. Some of the materials are typical consumer products, others are used e.g. in fishing and related activities.
